About this library
─❧─
This is a personal collection of thoughts, fragments and finds — gathered over the years and from many places.
It is not a catalogue or a compendium, simply a working library of things that interest me and, I hope, might interest you too.
Take your time. Browse. Stay awhile.
There’s always another page to turn.
Books
Use this area for favourite books, recent reading, Arthur Ransome notes, local history, genealogy finds or anything that deserves a place on the shelf.
Notes & Projects
A desk for current ideas, frameworks, half-formed thoughts and the practical business of making complicated things clearer.
Photographs
A place for images from North Yorkshire, people, places, family history, travels and the small scenes that make a day memorable.
Curiosities
Noah’s Ark, old railway timetables, odd facts, forgotten stories and anything else that makes you stop and say, “Well, I never knew that.”
Reflections
Thoughts from the armchair: life, history, service, common sense, friendship and the occasional obvious thing everybody else has missed.
